Coriolis IC: THROUGH THE DARKNESS

Zenith heralded the dawn of a new era – and the Horizon blossomed once again. Three dozen star systems, linked by fate and by the will of the Icons, wandered together towards a brighter future. But as the Emissaries arrived, the happy days drew to a close, and the Dark between the Stars slowly came creeping back.

"Fayz, get a pulse. How's the suit looking?"

If Basil is standing right there with Fayz next to the body, he'll inspect the suit himself.

Zaynab continues to monitor things from the bridge. She is anxious about the body the boarding party found, but says nothing for the moment, not wanting to distract them.

Amir's drone hovers at head height, it's display showing the image of the body lying in the airlock, while Basil squats down beside the body on the floor.

There is no pulse, and after a few moments of investigation Basil finds a small puncture wound in the chest of dead man, similar to what a mercurium blade would leave. He also finds a small tabula in one of the pockets of the jump suit.

@Muskrat - I can use Iskandir to monitor the situation from the ship if you want your character to board the Orun II.

"Mm, fellow's dead. Knifed, I reckon. Mercurium tech." Basil loots the tabula off of the body. "Let's see if this is helpful." He starts reading, or playing, the latest data entries for some more information.

I imagine it will be more interesting if I board with the others, so let's say I do that.
Zaynab looks at the corpse in distress. "The poor fellow." She looks around. "But why would someone do this. Was there a hostile boarding earlier?"

She goes to the airlock to see if there are any records she can access there.

"It don't know," Fayz replies. "In what situation do pirates board a ship without causing any exterior damage, take out at least one crewman, and then leave without the cargo?" The situation wasn't adding up for the former Legionnaire. "Amir, I'm heading to the quarters. Mind scouting ahead?"

Amir nods, focusing on the drone controls to scout ahead. "Heading down the corridor towards the quarters. Or at least, where the quarters should be."

Clearly disturbed, Zaynab says, "If it wasn't boarders, that would mean the crew attacked each other. Could this have something to do with the evil the Icons warned us of?"

"This is most troubling indeed" says Mister Kembouri as he steps into the airlock with the others. "We should proceed with extreme caution." He adds without further explanation.

Zaynab checks the access panel on the airlock doors but can't find any records of it's use in the last several days.
